A Few Good Men

A Few Good Men is the 1992 feature film adaptation of the Broadway play written by Aaron Sorkin. Directed by Rob Reiner, the film follows a young US Navy JAG lawyer (Tom Cruise) who is assigned a case that involves two young Marines accused of murdering a fellow Marine at the forward base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The film co-stars Demi Moore, J.T. Walsh, Kevin Pollak, Kevin Bacon, and Jack Nicholson.

Marines during training also carry their M16A2 rifles without magazines loaded.

M1903 Springfield

The Marine Silent Drill Platoon seen in Washington, D.C. during the opening credits use M1903 Springfield rifles with bayonets. Because the production did not receive support from the USMC, the platoon seen in the film is actually a drill team from Texas A&M (as the actual USMC Silent Drill Platoon uses the M1 Garand). Footage from this sequence was seen in an episode of JAG.
